The invention as described herein, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, consists of a mattress, an object of which is to provide a mattress which cannot sag through wearing down the resiliency of such springs which commonly bear the bulk of the weight of persons sleeping thereon.

A primary object of this invention is to provide a mattress which will not sag or give to an appreciable extent at any position thereof whereby a person with spinal trouble or any ailment which requires a non-sag sleeping surface may rest thereon in comfort.

Other features and advantages will become more readily apparent from the following description and the accompanying illustrative drawings in which:

Figure 1 is a fragmentary top plan View of the mattress,

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken of the mattress and considerably enlarged, and

Figure 3 illustrates a modification of the invention.

In Figure 1 the mattress 25 is provided with a perfectly smooth outer top and bottom surfaces 26 in which there is no tufting or other indentation.

In Figure 2 the mattress 21 consists of a preformed padding 28, and the upper and lower sides 25 and 30 of the mattress cover are integrally connected at 3l by a connecting strip 32 whereby it may be opened up to insert or remove the rigid board or plate 33 from the pocket l5 formed by the fabric panels I6 and Il. The terminals 34 and 35 of the ends 35 and 31 of the mattress cover are turned out at right angles and provided with either button 38 or zipper connection to secure the said ends of the pad together.

These pockets are provided near the outer surfaces 46 and til of the mattress and the padding 48 in between these pockets may be of any desired thickness and of any required material.
